The New York Times has hired top Axios national political reporter Jonathan Swan, who won an Emmy for his 2020 interview with then-President Donald Trump
Swan will start out covering Capitol Hill, “where he will focus on the Republican party and its fragile coalition in Congress,” according to a memo from politics editor David Halbfinger and Washington Bureau chief Elisabeth Bumiller. Swan then will join the politics team next summer.
Halbfinger and Bumiller called Swan “one of the biggest news breakers and best-sourced reporters in Washington.”“Even if you have never met Jonathan, you know his stories. He first reported that Trump would recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, that the U.S. would pull out of the Paris climate deal, that Steve Bannon would be fired and that Paul Ryan would retire from Congress,” they wrote.Swan also produced a none-part series and podcast about the final days of the Trump administration.
Two top New York Times reporters Jonathan Martin and Alexander Burns recently left the Times for Politico.
